Blacksburg, VA. Upon graduation in 1970, I joined The Dow Chemical Company (Dow) in
Freeport, TX. My entire career was spent in research in various aspects of Dow's polyolefins
business. During my career with Dow, I gained valuable experience in pilot plant and
manufacturing operations throughout the global Dow world. The opportunity to work in a
global context throughout my career has provided me with a strong background in cultural
diversity which is so important in today's global economy.
I was instrumental in the development and implementation of both DOWLEX* and
INSITE* technologies. Additionally, I have managed contract research projects and have
been involved in technology licensing and the management of a multi-company,
multi-national joint development program. I retired from Dow in June, 2001 after 31+ years
of dedicated service.
My career of 31+ years has provided me with a wealth of experience ranging from process
engineering to the more complex engineering issues of polymerization and polymer
handling. This background provides me with a unique insight into the global polyolefins
business.
